Nymeria: The Sweetest Puppy in the World

A few days ago, we finally got a puppy at my parents' house after eons of being dog-less. My sister and I grew up with a menagerie of animals in and outside the house. We always had several dogs. We even had two sheep. There was a flock of pigeons and several hutches filled with rabbits. There was a point when we even had some giant Kabir chickens. I think we had a humongous wild lizard one time. With my dad's love for animals, we never lacked for pets - conventional or otherwise.

As we grew older, though, the number of pets slowly dwindled. After the break in two months ago, though, I thought it was best to get a dog or two again. Finally, we have a puppy!

We have named her Nymeria, from the direwolf that belongs to Arya Stark in the fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire". More people would know her from the HBO TV series "Game of Thrones", which is based on the novels by George R.R. Martin.

Our goal was to get a dog that would be a great playmate for Sam and Eli but at the same time, guard the house somehow. When she arrived, though, Nymeria looked so sad.

I guess she was still missing her mommy, as she is only barely over a month old. The boys are another story, however. They immediately took to Nymeria, wanting to hold her and play with her.

Nymeria cried a lot the first two nights, poor baby, but we soon discovered that she just loves being held. Whenever she would start whining, one of us would get her and soothe her, reminding me so much of Elijah who can't get enough of Nymeria as well!

I was surprised to see a series of photos on my phone with the two little ones inside Nymeria's kennel. I guess the Alien-Walker baby decided to invade the puppy's abode. It looks like they were having a blast!

Nymeria needed some meds yesterday, and got all of us in a sort of panic, but thank goodness I was able to get hold of my high school friend who is a vet. After giving Nymeria the meds, she seems much better now although we need to keep observing her. For sure, though, her appetite is back.

I have been informed by Google that Metrodeal is going to take matters to court because of this post being a copy and paste of a case study they had in June 2012. I have republished this post because I can say with 100% certitude that this post is all mine and was written in May 2013 after I had bought a Longchamp Le Pliage bag from Metrodeal. I'll be updating this post as things progress.

Please bear with me as I wait for Google to sort things out. In the meantime, comments and feedback are still welcome![UPDATE]

Some women have this thing for shoes. While I don't get that - give me my trusty Ipanemas any day - I do understand the concept of havin…

I've been distracted by certain events that happened over the weekend. I have not been hiding my excitement about a weekend trip to the beach, but for some reason, plans fell through. I could have sulked - was tempted actually - but I've been trying to avoid negativity in my life, so I thought, might as well make the most of things.

I bet KFCs in other countries do not have this dish. It's basically rice porridge with chicken. For me, this is comfort food at its finest. I haven't had it for the longest time but when I was a child, arroz caldo was a regular thing.

Now, decades later, I find it ironic that I can get this local dish from an American fastfood chain; not to mention the fact that I am eating it at 11 pm, after work. Arroz caldo is a traditional breakfast food, by the way. Maybe I need an appetite suppressant. I shouldn't really be eating this right before midnight. Oh well, it is so good!
